So I asked my wife to take the "Spiritual Belief System" quiz online. Now, this is not claiming to be a scientifically accurate system to determine your religious affiliation, but I thought it would be an interesting exercise.
For those who haven't seen it, the questionnaire is here:

After you answer the questions, it returns what "spiritual belief system" you are most closely aligned with with according to a percentage scale. For instance, #1 for me was Secular Humanist at 100%, #2 Non-theist (87%) and #3 Unitarian Universalist (84%). Dead last at #27 was Jehovahs Witness at 0%.
So I ask my wife to take the test, and all I ask is that she answers what she actually believes, and not what she's supposed to say.
I'm expecting JWs to be in the top 5. Certainly not the #1 spot, but up there.
Here are her results:
#1 Orthodox Quaker- Religious society of friends (100%)
#2 Reform Judaism (96%)
#3 Unitarian Universalism (88%)
Now when I saw these top results, I wasn't particularly surprised. I was kind of happy we have a bit of overlap in the UU category.. . . . . But where were JWs?
I started scrolling. . . . .down. . .. .. down. . . down. . . .
#26 Jehovahs Witness (35%)
This is good!
